Details

This policy paper sets out the government’s approach and achievements in tackling tax avoidance, evasion and other forms of non-compliance. It is split into three chapters and outlines HMRC’s strategy and approach to compliance for different taxpayers, details the government’s record in addressing areas where risks of non-compliance have been identified and provides a summary of the government’s record of investment in HMRC and its commitment to further action.

In addition, Annex A lists details of over 100 measures the government has introduced since 2010 to crack down on avoidance, evasion and non-compliance, and Annex B consists of two reports, one reviewing the effectiveness of provisions of Finance Act 2019 relating to tax avoidance, the other providing impact analyses of the same provisions.
